Police said at about 4:17 a.m. July 4, units were sent to the 900 block of Walnut Grove Road, Essex, for a call about someone having trouble breathing. When officers arrived, they found Mason laying on the ground suffering from multiple stab wounds.

He was transported to Franklin Square Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
